Prologue

Were we wrong did we make the wrong choices? I can't seem to remember what is was that brought me here to this place. Does it really matter? No I suppose not things use to be so simple didn't they?

Those were the thoughts that raced through his mind as he slowly faded back and forth between sleep and consciousness. The man who seemed no older than Bo yet had long snow white hair and eyes that had seen so much it was as if he had been to hell and back more times than he cared to remember. Yet he had nothing but these thoughts dwelling within him the visions of a young woman in a field of flowers haunted him.

Would he ever see the light of day? Would he ever live again? He hoped not for the girl's sake.

Chapter One:

The Old Man lay on his bed sickly old his only company was his butler and old man his himself. "Do you think she will hate me Mathew? My granddaughter do you think she will hate me for the choices I've made for deciding it was best that she live with humans?"

Mathew just stood silent "You did what you that was best no one could blame you for that Sir."

"Funny isn't it? A dark fae choosing to have his granddaughter raised by humans how pathetic I've become. But once I die there will be no protecting her light and dark will come after her for all sorts of reasons." The Old Man said barely able to speak as he handed his butler a note. "Give this to her in it lies her salvation… her protector."

"Yes sir don't worry she will be protected. Your granddaughter Kenzi will stay safe." Mathew crying as his master took his final breath.

Kenzi sat the bar drinking a diet sprite with a straw she couldn't help but feel bored Bo was out on a job and Dyson and Lauren were doing God only knows what. Trick was busy helping Hale be the Ash.

It felt like there wasn't much left for her all her friends didn't have time for her she was literally the third wheel okay maybe a fifth wheel. All she had was finding Bo jobs that's what she was there for some old guy named Mathew contacted her said it was imperative that they speak.

"Hello Ms. Kenzi it's an honor to see you again." Mathew said startling.

"Shit! Don't scare me like that." Kenzi said jumping out of her chair.

"My apologies however we shouldn't speak her."

"What do you mean. I'm perfectly fine right here." Kenzi said thinking the creep wanted to get her alone.

Mathew sighed and took a seat next to her "It can't be helped then I suppose. What do you know of the Scafati clan?"

"That they were a powerful fae family that got wiped out by the others during Pompeii. What do they have to with this?" Kenzi started getting confused.

Mathew grew quiet not wanting to tell her what he knew "That is not entirely true. The family was wiped out by all but the head of the family and his daughter. They lived in secret as Dark Fae the family head became a mob boss as a means to amass power to protect his daughter. However…"

"What?"

"A prophesy was discovered that a child born of the Scafati clan would bring about a great change in the Fae world. Either this child shall bring forth salvation or damnation. When it was discovered that the daughter was pregnant and that they were of the Scafati clan both sides were outraged the Old Man had but one choice to have the child's powers sealed so that she could be raised by humans only for the seal to break on her twenty forth birthday."

Kenzi clenched the wooden table starting to feel uneasy this coming Friday was her birthday "So why are you telling me this?"

"Because you are that child my dear the child of the prophesy who shall be the one to shatter laws written by Blood King himself." Mathew declared keeping his voice down so no one could hear her.

"This is crazy you are crazy." Kenzi shouted alarmed by what this man was saying.

"Listen to me!" Mathew said grabbing her. "It's no longer safe with succubus she cannot protect you from what's coming and your friends from the Light cannot either. Once word gets out Light and Dark fae of all varieties will come after you for all sorts of reasons. Whether you believe me or not at least take this." He then shoved the piece of paper in her hands. "In this maybe your only hope for survival." The man then left without another word leaving Kenzi speechless.

Later on Kenzi was walking along the side walk she didn't understand why she was following the directions maybe curiosity if it was a lie it was a pretty dumb one. That was when she heard footsteps behind her it was a fae that had been at the Dal earlier that night only he had what must have been six others with him.

"Who are you?" She asked starting to get nervous.

"Oh who me? I'm James you see I'm a Light fae who heard a very interesting story some decades back. About baby that would bring about the end of the peace and as you can imagine I laughed about it but that I see you all grown up well… I think you can imagine how a guy like me might not like that. I mean I'd lose everything I've worked for if you fulfilled your destiny little girl so I'm sorry but you're going to die now." He smiled wickedly as he took out a revolver and fired.

Kenzi barely escaped being lucky enough to get only grazed she for her life still running for the ware house by the docks. The Light fae still chasing after her she struggled to open the iron door and even more so to shut. This couldn't be happening this was insane that's what she was thinking.

Then she turned around and saw it the steal cargo container it didn't seem real who would leave one container in an empty building and why? She looked at number and thought it must have been some sick joke. It was designated as cargo container 666. Still though the fae were banging on the door so she opened it and couldn't believe what she found a man with long snow white hair wrapped in chains. He wore all-black from top to bottom with a cowboy hat and a long black over coat. He even had an eye patch covering his left eye.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Kenzi asked in disbelief.

The doors finally fell down and James laughed maniacally as he pointed his gun and fired "Time to die you little bitch!" Just then as Kenzi screamed the man woke up and snapped his chains off taking the bullet for Kenzi "What the hell? How can you still be standing?"

The man just stood there between Kenzi and the gang of surprised fae who now had drawn all their weapons and opened fire. "Die! Die! Why won't you die?" James cried as he kept pumping the man full of lead.

There was a strange calm that last for about a second then the man pulled out to guns. He aimed for the gang of fae and fired without hesitation killing every single one with a single shot. "What the hell? Who are you? What are you? You don't smell like fae! God damn freak!" James screamed as he raised his gun only to be taken down with a single shot. His last weak words were "Wait that smell you couldn't be its not possible…"

Kenzi just stood behind him froze with fear "Who are you?"

"His name is Stefan…" Mathew explained having just arrived his heart happy that Kenzi was not dead "No that name no longer belongs to him call him Grave call him Beyond the Grave."

"Wait Dyson had a friend name Stefan is that you? Grave are you Stefan?"

Grave just stood there quiet not answering her question all he said was "I hope to never see light again. I had hoped this day would never come. I had hoped you'd never know the truth Kenzi because now your life what ever it may have been is over."
